Your patch may be a good idea but I still think that base-cygwin (and maybe base-passwd) should be a dependency of every package in the distribution. I think that every package which currently relies on cygwin should instead rely on base-cygwin and every package which does not have a cygwin dependency (and there are a quite a few of those) should be forced to rely on base-cygwin. In my experiments, that forces base-cygwin first in the dependency order without any setup.exe changes required. cgf
